The CO-induced generation of palladium carbonyl clusters in NaY and 5A zeolites has been studied as a function of temperature by means of infrared spectroscopy. Pd/NaY, when calcined at 773 K and reduced in H[sub 2] at 473 K, contains Pd[degrees] atoms located in sodalite cages where they are inaccessible to CO at temperatures below 120 K. Small Pd clusters located in supercages are formed under CO pressures of 5 mbar in the temperature range 140-280 K. These clusters ultimately coalesce in 1 bar CO around 280-300 K and generate the Pd[sub 13](CO)[sub x] clusters, which are entrapped in the supercages. Small oligomers or clusters are formed on reduction in supercages of 5A zeolite. Exposure to CO (approximately 20 mbar) in the temperature range 260-320 K leads to the formation of Pd[sub 6] carbonyl clusters. 23 refs., 8 figs.
